look at this ebay seller's store^
Thay have alot of rare NiGHTS things I never knew existed!

[Nemoide]

I think I will have to bid on some of that once it gets a bit closer to ending...

I think it would be pretty dang neato to own that Nights VHS.
If not me, I hope someone on the forum will win it, digitize it, and upload it?

[Zero-Shift]

Interesting. Because of an experience I had only once on ebay I always have a bit of suspicion about import things like these, but still, a score of over 200 with 100% is pretty damn good feedback.

I almost tempted to say we should coordinate a mass shopping spree and assign forum members to grab certain items of interest since having one person buy over 200 dollars of merch seems a bit much. Oh wait...damn. I do think I'll grab a few of those items though.

I'm sure the VHS is the 50 minute...uh..."Strategy tape" we have here on the site. That SEGA Saturn History DVD though...

[DiGi Valentine]

Yeah, the VHS is the 50 minute long video we have on our site. It's technically just a play through of the game with a Japanese voice over.

As for everything else being sold, WOAH! That's a lot of stuff. I guess i'm going to be keeping my eyes on this then.

-edit-
HOLY sh!t!! They're selling the sheet music! That's rare as hell! It's one of the things this fanbase has been unable to get. If we were to somehow get it we would scan and upload it to the site so everybody could own it. I know TRiPPY's been wanting to get that for the site for years.

-edit-
And i've NEVER seen that t-shirt before! O_O

[TRiPPY]

As nice as all this stuff is it makes me sad that the person (who is obviously a serious fan to know about the obscure items) is having to sell their collection. The thought crossed my mind once about how much my collection would be worth on Ebay and i came to the conclusion that even if i desperately needed the cash (which i have done in the past) i could never sell any of it. Not that it's impossible to buy again, i mean you see it pop up every few years or so, but it's the waiting part that eats you alive, lol.

Also wtf, why didn't I know this persons website existed?

A couple of things there i don't own and will probably bid on for website upload purposes. I'm hoping you guys will end up being the winners, if you get anything please take decent and detailed photos for our merch section. It's being growing on my pc for the last few years XD;


So yeah guys, bid! Don't let any of this stuff go to generic non enthusiastic colletors! Keep it with the fans mansss.


edit- LOL also i remember when that holder tin thing was ON Ebay because i remember talking with one of my friends about whether i should bid on it or not XD



EDIT- read what's up on their website and felt really strongly about emailing them regarding their situation. Emailed and hoping to have stirred up something in them.
Us fans gotta stick together yo.

[Zero-Shift]

Just a heads up everybody, I'm bidding on the sheet music. I'll be damned if I don't get that book so I can upload images for this site.

[TRiPPY]

Thanks Zero I get so many emails from musicians asking for sheet music! This would be very helpful.

^^; I didn't know that, I have it dudes ^^;

[TRiPPY]

LOL! MALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN XD *slaps forehead*


Hey Malan, do me a favour and email:
dreamwatersprings@gmail.com

(http://www.dreamwate....com/nightopia/)

And tell them their website is too awesome to give up on. They have really put a lot of heart and research into that site and it makes me sad to think it will be killed off. Maybe if us other web creators email them, they wont give up.
Read the site on IE (the Twinseeds section) to see what is up.


must. keep. fans. happy!

[Zero-Shift]

Dude, Malan, you've been a member here since 2007 and you never mentioned you have sheet music? That would be a great contribution. You've been holding out on us. XD

-Edit- Also, is it just me or is there no material on this individual's site. I can get to the various pages but nothing comes up when I click the sub categories. I don't know if it's just my computer on the fritz so I wanted to verify it.

[TRiPPY]

No there is! You have to use IE, it doesnt work with Firefox

[Zero-Shift]

Ah, there we go. Yep. It's definitely a work in progress, but it has potential and it's always nice to see another fansite floating around out there. I really hope this person gets back to you.

[Malan]

It's done TRiPPY.

Yes I'm an old member, but I didn't come often here ^^;
But the main issue is that my music sheet is absolutely "brand new", and I don't know how to scan the book without making damages... I already wanted to scan it for my web site, but I don't know how to do because of that °°

[DiGi Valentine]

I think the website is unfinished, yeah. I didn't know it existed either.

Also, Malan! XD OMG!
I think i've only ever heard of one other person who had owned this book. That's how rare this book is. If we could have that on the website then everybody could own the sheet music. The amount of musicians who have asked for scans of it, you wouldn't believe.

-edit-
ah, you can't scan without damaging it. that's a shame

[TRiPPY]

Thanks for emailing them Also I've asked Arch to email them, might give them a little pickmeup.



Hmmmm, how thick is the book? Is it thicker than the NiGHTS storybook? I had to put that in my scanner and was really worried it would kill my books spine, but it didn't (thankfully) I own the original 1996 print of it @~@

[Malan]

Yeah, but I'll try to find a way to do it this afternoon.
I have a new scanner that doesn't need the book to be stretched a lot for the image to be decent [omg I hope you'll understand this sentence xDD]

[TRiPPY]

XD yeah i understand, just be careful not to press down on the spine too much or it might unhinge the binding.


edit- anyone who has the Japanese Lyrics to Dreams Dreams on their site is cool by me

-
My dream peered at a night full of peaceful stars
It was a sweet-scented dream
Someone was calling me from the opposite side of a door

It was you who called to me
And I continued to search for you
So then
It's been a very long time
But I tell myself the truth, who is it I'm seeking?
Yet I didn't understand
I heard your voice and without question thought "I found you!"

All this time, it was this big door I didn't think I should touch
It was an important thing to me, that I thought I should open it
But to open it would mean that the door would finally be
unbolted before me

You're here, in this ordinary, conventional place
As if caught in a scene, I stood still for a while
I smiled with, truly, the most natural feeling in the world
I never knew I could be so close like this

How I had never realized it until now
I briefly wept

There you are, unlike anything I had ever seen in my dream
Overflowing with light
But it seems my wish was granted, there in the light
And you do make me feel that way

[Malan]

This is ironic, because I don't have any goods about NiGHTS but this music sheet, and you tell me that is one of the only thing you don't have xD

[TRiPPY]

IRONY.

[Dex la Cabra]

this seller is GOD. i have been sat on ebay for about a year now money in hand waiting for this stuff to come up! unfortunately, his timing is bad, as i have no money at the moment with which to go nuts on those items D:> i blame the £60 claris and having to save up for my friends barragan cosplay! aww man, club saturn aswell! D:>

[TRiPPY]

XD Club saturn is on our site (i bought in a local HMV back in 98), and the seller is a lady

I'm really interested in the JP posters and the phonecards, those hardly ever appear on Ebay.

[Dex la Cabra]

i prefer hardcopies though i'm cool like that! right, to all those who can ask for this stuff from their parents as early christmas presents, ask them! i'm gonna beg until my lungs die again! what's everyone thinkin of buying? so we dont tread on each others toes and make sure the fanbase buys it all!

[DiGi Valentine]

I'm going for that shirt so STAY THE HELL OUTTA MY WAAAAAAAY!!!! XD
Nah, i'm kidding. I will be going for the shirt but if you guys want to battle me for it then by all means go ahead.

Plushies go for crazy amounts. The Reala one will sky-rocket.

[TRiPPY]

I need the Claris plush since my Elliot is ronery. But i feel bad for wanting to bid on anything

[Dex la Cabra]

TRiPPY say what now? why do you feel bad? and i really hope that the reala plush stays secret to most ebayers until it's almost finished, because bidding when there's still days to go puts the price up! D:

[TRiPPY]

http://www.dreamwate...anyon/index.htm

because i can really relate to this^

[DiGi Valentine]

....that's really quite sad ._. Almost makes me not want to bid on the stuff now.

[Dex la Cabra]

woah, that is sad! this makes me want us lot to snatch it all up though, so we know it's going to great loving homes rather than some collector who's just going to shove them in a warehouse or something. well, i for one would make sure their stuff is well kept anyway!

[TRiPPY]

Yeah i read that and thought 'woah this is the flipside of what could've happened to me'. I've offered her server help and content help and anything else that i could think of. With any hope she'll see its worth not giving up on NiGHTS and start again if she has to. It just upsets me why i didn't know about her site.

I think if shes having rent probs buying her items is going to help her a lot so at least we can feel less guilty about that, but losing her enthusiam for me is more upsetting than her merch.

Maybe we can cheer her up by showing our support I know that whenever I've had my bad moments here as an admin, hearing from fans has really helped me stay strong.

[Dex la Cabra]

right, can you tell me her email, i'm sure we can all send emails of support and encouragement! either that, or we invite her here, because we've all kept our enthusiasm thanks to the community, but she's not part of it, is she?

[DiGi Valentine]

It just feels that her timing to depart from NiGHTS is bad. At a time where every NiGHTS fan kinda counts, ya know.

I'll try and bid on some things during next week. I've got to pay KichiGai for her work on Engelbaum. Once i've done that i can see how much money i've got left to bid on things.

I too have thought about inviting her here, she's more than welcome.

[TRiPPY]

dreamwatersprings@gmail.com


And yeah DiGi, thats something else that feels like a kick in the teeth. At this point, we have to keep her above water, i don't want to see another dedicated fan vanish into obscurity.
And no she's not a member of our community because she's obviously been trying to build her own, which i hold no grudges against, friendly competition is good, but i just WISH she had come here to chat with other fans before giving up. We're a nice lot, and even though we might have our own seperate websites it doesn't mean we are enemies, we're all on the same boat. Fans are fans. And since NiGHTS is so underrated he needs all the fans he can get.

[DiGi Valentine]

Wait, she isn't here because she doesn't like our website? or did i totally missread you just then?

[TRiPPY]

Who knows, it doesn't really matter is what I'm saying. She probably has her reasons be them good or bad, i'm just saying shes been concentrating on building her own place and even i find it hard to visit other peoples sites because im so busy with this one all the time @_o

[DiGi Valentine]

I might try and bid on the Claris plushie too, if i have enough. Not trying to step on toes, just voicing my interest.

[TRAViS]

Woah. I might have to transfer some funds around this weekend! Some awesome stuff in there!

Though it's sad that a fansite had to go down to make these appear...

[TRiPPY]

haha yeah, if i buy anything it will be on the level of 'buying it to document it and share it with everyone' level. I don't glorymonger my merch, i've been collecting it for good reason XD; I'm just slow at making the merch section because DiGi has to take all the photos again. Back when we used to not have a camera with a flash was the last time he attempted it. But it's one of the biggest bits on our site from sheer information gathering. I used to hate hate HATE it when fans would take one photo of an item and not allow you to use it or wouldn't tell you anything about it. Greedy is lame.

Good luck guys! hey even if a bidding war happens (which it will) at least its helping her out with monies.

[Malan]

I don't have money to spend for now, good luck for the bids.

btw, I tried to scan the music sheet, it's good enough I think, here's the best I can obtain : http://gbacorp.free..../images/nights/

There is 120 pages, so be patient, I'll do a ZIP when it's done.

-edit- : the order is weird for now, be carefull ^^;

[TRiPPY]

Wow that's brilliant Malan! Thank you so much ^^ and.... that's a lot of pages to scan! D: Good luck, don't go crazy!
